Nanocellulose was successfully synthetized from microcrystalline cellulose by an acid hydrolysis process. The sample characterization was performed employing X-ray diffraction, zeta potential and confocal Raman microscopy. ...

Nanocellulose is observed to be a promising biomaterial for use as implants and scaffolds in tissue engineering. Due to their availability, high strength, low weight, and biodegradability, nanocellulose fibers can be used ...

Steam explosion process is employed for the successful extraction of cellulose nanofibrils from pineapple leaf fibres for the first time. Steam coupled acid treatment on the pineapple leaf fibres is found to be effective ...

Nanocellulose is a promising material for fabricating green, biocompatible, flexible, and foldable devices. One of the main issues of using nanocellulose as a fundamental component for wearable electronics is the influence ...

In healthier reformulated meat products throughout animal fat reduction or its replacement with emulsified oil, hydrocolloids have been extensively studied and used as stabilizers. Among them, vegetable and bacterial ...

During the last two decades cellulosic nanomaterials have been the subject of much research around the world. Moreover, in the last few years, increasing industrial interest on the field enabled the setting-up of the first ...

The present work deals with the use of multiple-step procedures to obtain valuable sub-products, including nanocellulose, from rice husk. Each sub-product was characterized after every step by analyzing the chemical ...

Cellulose nanoparticles (CNs) were prepared by acid hydrolysis of the cellulose pulp extracted from the Brazilian satintail (Imperata Brasiliensis) plant using a conventional and a total chlorine free method. Initially, a ...

This investigation reports the first application of admicellar polymerization to cellulose nanofibers in the form of bacterial cellulose, microfibrillated cellulose, and cellulose nanowhiskers using styrene and ethyl acrylate. ...
